Love is ...

Stopping for coffee in different places can prompt all sorts of creative writing. 

Rose Lane

The confetti bride,

Stood in silent wonder,

Contemplating a life,

Her life, her story,

Her time.

Her chance,

Maybe her last chance?

Of love with the man she abandoned

Forty years ago.

Scared now, like then,

Excited now, like then.

Salvaging the regret

Of impulsive youth,

A love

Held within a broken heart

For forty years!

Synchronicity?

In the garden centre

They meet again

Unexpectedly,

Next to the cherry blossom

The last bloom

Of the season.

Happy St Valentine's Day. 

Stairway to heaven ...

The domestic goddess has many chores,

Washing, cooking and vacuuming floors.

Cherubs and kittens, playful and sweet,

But today they're getting

Under her feet!

There's clouds to fluff and harps to shine,

A coffee break?

 Not a chance this time!

Must be ready,

Can't be late,

Oh no, 

Already a queue at the pearly gate!
